Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Frequency, pain, and incomplete emptying of urination, with prolonged urination each time; the following measures are recommended:
1. Identify the cause: Symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and incomplete bladder emptying are commonly associated with various diseases, including urinary tract infections, prostate disorders, urethral stricture, and overactive bladder. Prolonged urinary frequency, pain, and incomplete emptying not only affect quality of life but untreated urinary tract infections can lead to kidney damage.
2. Relief measures: Drinking plenty of water helps cleanse the urinary tract and promote the elimination of bacteria. Maintain a balanced diet by reducing intake of irritating foods and increasing consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits. Keep the genital area clean and dry, and avoid excessive use of chemical products and scented soaps.
3. Medication: For symptoms caused by infection, doctors may prescribe antibiotics such as levofloxacin capsules.
4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): TCM also has good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and can be used under a doctor's guidance.
If you have any concerns, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly.
